Please join us for our next meeting, February 8th for what should prove an interesting and interactive meeting led by Kate Pugh.

Knowledge Jam is a process for using conversation to get out tacit (hidden) knowledge from teams and experts, and to put it to work with the help of the organizations that need it most.  It is built around the disciplines of facilitation, conversation, and translation, and draws on the practices of organizational learning, social media, and intelligence acquisition.  Kate Pugh, author of Sharing Hidden Know-How (Jossey-Bass/Wiley, March 2011) will take the KM Chicago group through the process and have us all do a role-play.  Expect a fun, interactive, and practical experience that may inspire you to facilitate your own Knowledge Jams.
